Crazy thought but could Andre be in a set by himself with 2 figures representing his 3 LJN figures...? I would be okay with that, would be up for 2 Andre’s in this line, but would worry we wouldn’t then get Studd. His LJN was my first ever wrestling figure, so I have a soft spot for him and really want him in this line. |

Studd/Andre would be my next pick
2 heads for Andre short hair & puffy/ longer hair
Blue trunks/blue boots
Duffle bag w/15K
2 new heads for Studd
Robe (could they do robes like they do the UE leather jackets? That’d be pretty cool)
Scissors so he can cut Andre’s hair

His LJN was my first ever wrestling figure, so I have a soft spot for him and really want him in this line. Studd (& Valentine) were my favorite figures in the line as far as playability-actually playing with them. Their poses were open ended enough to be able to replicate various moves, moreso than the others. Also it was fun making Studd do that somersault senton like the kid makes him do in the commercial. |

Would love a valentine and honkey tonk but doubt we get anything more. It was a great idea but the price is just too steep for most i believe. If they made them tag teams than i believe they will sell better. Sadly most of those epic duos are not available to mattel. In the end mattel faces the same problem with their retros. They force us to buy the box and all the figures in it. The box obviously adds onto their bottomline but it isnt enough to entice us. I have said since day 1 that these should have posters of the wrestlers included. A hulk hogan for 35 bucks doesnt make sense to anyone when a basic is 12. There needs to be more bang for the buck. |

Personally, with standard Ultimates retailing at $32.99 I don’t think $34.99 a figure is too much for what we get. Now, I can get behind the people that say they only want one of the figures in the set, so they’re essentially paying $70 for one figure. That sucks. |

But I also understand what I think is Mattel’s argument, that the 2-pack is a way to get out Ultimate figures we would otherwise never get. |

Oh, for sure. As someone who's all in on this line I'm for whatever they have to do to get these characters out. Getting only two sets a year makes it was easier to digest having to buy the inevitable Outback Jack to get a figure high on my wish list.

I see that Muraco has a new shirt on shop. I've wanted a heel Muraco for a while. If it's an Ultimate in this line even better.

Are we sure it's a new shirt? A Muraco/Snuka set would be great - doubt that will happen.

Dang, now I want a Muraco in both CC and Superstars, as well as a re-release of his Elite!

Chief Jay Strongbow has a shirt too (second page for newest arrivals). Don't see why they can't release him as a RSC vault exclusive - he would prob sell out pretty fast even tho the figure probably would have warmed if released as planned. Freddie Blassie does too - good to see the older Legends getting merchandise.

The Muraco and Orton shirts are WWE-licensed products that have been available on the 500 Level website for years. I just searched my email and saw that I placed a 500 Level order consisting solely of these two shirts (quite a coincidence) on 3/21/20 (right when the world was ending--fun!). I admittedly have no idea how any of this works, but I doubt the fact that these long-available-elsewhere items are now on WWE Shop means anything, but I'd be happy to be wrong.

Muraco did not have a merchandise page under the Superstars directory months ago (last time I checked). If you check out the directory below, he not only has a page now, but the thumbnail is just the WWE logo (as is Freddie Blassie, Hank & Tank, Giulia, and Pure Fusion Collective, which have all been recently added). I don't think they would add a new page if he wasn't under a Legends deal again. Orton has a page too, but it wouldn't surprise me if his deal never lapsed (because of Randy). shop.wwe.com/en/o-10934?_ref=m-TOPNAV |

A set with Muraco and Fuji would be cool. Green IC title (even though his IC run was before his association with Fuji). And i guess he would have to wear red trunks like his LJN, which im not opposed to but, Id much prefer him in black or blue trunks.
